I went to Hobby Lobby this morning - finally - and bought 4 cones of white serger thread. I want to have 5 main colors of thread on hand to work with...white, black, brown, grey, and taupe. That should about cover any fabric I use. Perhaps I will feel the need for more (or less) colors as I progress.
Threading a serger can be somewhat of an undertaking. Fortunately, the company had pre-threaded Serger Sue, so all I needed to do was tie the new threads to what was already there and pull them through. I was relieved!
Naomi Janome stood by to give moral support as I played with her cousin, Serger Sue. All went well. So, now I am able to move ahead with the doll clothes I want to make. Using a serger makes everything look more professional. In my opinion.
Yesterday, I was thinking about how it was Friday...and how I normally would be very excited to have a 3 day weekend ahead of me. Three days off work. But, now that I am RETIRED, I have every day off work! ~grin~ Sorry, I could not resist saying that.
I hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

Well I think it is so nice that you are going to use a Serger. I know that when I used to make my kids clothes I longed for one.
I agree it does look more professional.
I am glad you are still enjoying yourself in retirement.
I use mine to bind rugs and that is all it does, lol.
I still can't thread it right and now it is jammed again, so have to get the book and figure out what I am doing wrong.

Very clever to tie the new to the already threaded! ;-) And, congrats on 6 more books! :-)
I for one cannot wait to see what you and Sue Serger are going to come up with!!! Holly Lobby, I wish we here in Maine had a store, sadly no...retirement gets better with each and every day! Hugs...
